I'd argue Lodash/Underscore.js is a direct comparable to jQuery rather than React/Angular.

jQuery is likely diminishing but its death has been somewhat overstated. There's at least two areas that hurt jQuery:

- IE11 is disappearing for consumers (less so in corporations/governments)

- ECMAScript 6 now offers enough conveniences so jQuery isn't as "mandatory" as perhaps it once did.

We still use jQuery with AngularJS, but we also need to support business users so our IE11 share is significantly higher than most consumer sites.
